Gambler

Chapter 17, Starting a business is good. But I don't look like a magician at all. Your magic is different from my definition of magic. Magic is a highly intelligent performing art based on scientific principles, using special props, and cleverly integrating visual communication, psychology, chemistry, mathematics, physics, criminal investigation, performance and other scientific fields. Seize the characteristics of people's curiosity and knowledge-seeking psychology, and create all kinds of incredible and unpredictable phenomena, so as to achieve the artistic effect of fakes and real ones. Magic can produce special phantoms. It is a kind of acrobatics that uses quick and agile techniques or special devices to cover up real movements, making the audience feel that objects appear and disappear, and the changes are unpredictable. The other type is mind magic, also known as mind-reading, which the performer does not use agile techniques or special devices but uses a lot of science, psychology, mathematics and other knowledge. The performer uses extremely agile and imperceptible techniques or uses special devices to cover up the truth of the changes so that the audience will not feel strange and unpredictable. In a broad sense: anything that is visually imaginable can be called magic. The performers work hard to learn and then let people watch this incredible performance effect, which is "performing magic". Magic is a comprehensive stage art. The perfect presentation of magic is the result of the magician accurately manipulating the scene and controlling people's psychology. Magicians often use principles such as diversion, lighting effects, and people's illusions to create stage effects, thereby presenting exquisite magic performances to the audience. Magic relies on the flexible use of various scientific principles of physics and chemistry such as light, sound, electricity, psychology, etc., And uses unique artistic conception to create various bizarre and ingenious performance images. Close-up Magic Performing in front of one or several audiences at close range requires skilled techniques. Most of the props used are daily necessities, such as coins, playing cards, etc. Because of the face-to-face contact with the audience, the audience can often touch the performance objects, which often brings great shock. Performance along the table (RunTable or Table Hopper) Usually performed in restaurants, performers perform along table after table. Street Magic Due to the rise of performance methods, the most famous one is the American magician David Blaine who uses the streets as a stage to perform various interactive performances with the audience. Bar Magic Use some medium and small props to perform, suitable for bars, nightclubs, birthday parties or anniversary parties. It is highly interactive, and the performers often make the audience laugh. Stage Magic It requires large-scale magic props, dance, stage lighting, and sound performances. (If necessary, the stage must be specially modified.) Such performances are only suitable for long-distance viewing areas such as large theaters or auditoriums. Industry Terminology ACT Repertoire 3 photos in total Magic A performer's complete "program"; "repertoire" usually means a performance of less than 30 minutes, often as part of a longer "show" (SHOW). "Play" also means a specific "program" in the "FULL-EVENING SHOW" [such as "SPIRIT CABINET" "play" or "LEVITATION" "play"]. Use Props Any object seen by the audience that has been specially crafted to cause a magic "effect". The term does not depend on the size of the object; a BILL TUBE and a LIONS BRIDE ILLUSION are both "appliances" and "effects." Whether it is a "paraphernalia" is not determined by the audience's perception; although a matchbox may not look like a magician's "paraphernalia", if it is secretly modified for an "effect" purpose, it will be regarded as a "paraphernalia". EFFECT "Effect" in magic terms refers to a "trick" (TRICK) or "ILLUSION" (ILLUSION); it is also a brief description of what happens as seen by the audience. Descriptions and instructions in magic literature are most often divided into two parts; for example, the "effect" is what is seen by the audience, and the "method" (METHOD) is the steps used to bring out the "effect". FAKE A device used to cause a magic "effect" that the audience can see but is not aware of; such as the mirrors in the "THUMB TIP" and "MIRROR GLASS". Full Evening Show 16 photos in total Magic Props This term is used to refer to an entire stage show, usually lasting no less than two hours, performed in a theater. Most of the famous magicians of the early 20th century—KELLAR, THURSTON, BLACKSTONE, and others—performed primarily this type of show. GIMMICK Hide A device that is never seen by the audience and makes it possible to achieve an "effect". For example, a "reel" (REEL) is a "hidden item". Alternatively, more broadly within the entertainment industry, a personal trait or unique appearance makes an actor identifiable (for example, the shaved head of "Telly Savalas"), or the appearance of an entertainment product makes the product unique and perhaps more attractive. This term comes from the earlier word gimcrack. See FAKE. ⊙Translation Note: "Talishawara" was born on January 21, 1924 and died on January 22, 1994; a famous American bald villain movie star who played the leading role in many films. Illusion Although all magic performances can be said to be composed of illusions, in the professional field the word "illusion" itself has its own specific meaning; it almost always refers to a magic "effect" (EFFECT) that appears or contains people or large animals. MOVE SLEIGHT OF HAND A single "SLEIGHT OF HAND" skill. In the terminology of gamblers, it is the use of tricks to defraud gambling. PROP props A necessary object when performing an "EFFECT". There is often a difference between a PROP (unprepared) and an APPARATUS (prepared); for example, the DEVANO DECK used in the performance "RISING CARDS" is an "apparatus", but the normal glass into which the "RISING CARDS" is placed is a "prop". PROP is the standard abbreviation of PROPERTY in theater terms. ROUTINE Program Use the same "PROP" (PROP) to perform a series of "EFFECTs"; such as a "program" of "AMBITIOUS CARD" or "OKITO BOX". In addition, many individual "effects" are combined into an effective series to become a set of "acts" (ACT). SHOW Show A performance or theater performance. See "ACT"; "FULL-EVENING SHOW". SLEIGHT Sleight of Hand Closer Magic Any measure or movement performed using the hands to produce the "effect" of a magic trick; this term means a deceptive trick used on an ordinary object (cards, coins, etc.), But this is not always the case. Of course, the actions defined by this term are quite different from the manipulation of a magic "paraphernalia" with one's hands during a performance. This term is also not to be confused with those straightforward demonstrations of a "FLOURISH" using technical hand movements. Craft A "sleight of hand" (or series of tricks) used together with other performance techniques to produce a magic "effect". TRICK "Trick" is a term used by the general public to briefly describe a performance of a magic trick; magicians rarely use the word "trick" in this sense. They prefer the term "EFFECT". Unfortunately, the popular term "trick" has connotations of cheating, blackmail and harmful deception - and also focuses on the appearance of puzzles/puzzles in magic skills, which harms the real magical entertainment Sleight of hand - mainly based on sleight of hand techniques, which require diligent practice before performing. Instrument Category - Perform performances with cleverly designed organs and instruments. Psychological category - perform magic performances based on the principles of psychology. Technology category - Perform performances based on natural science knowledge such as chemistry and physics. Video Category - Use the blind spot of the TV to shoot a cool magic show. Scale of props Divided into giant magic, medium-sized magic, small magic Divided according to performance venue Divided into stage magic, banquet magic, street magic, close-up magic, etc. Divided by topic A certain magician is good at magic with a certain prop, and often performs magic with the same prop together to form a topic. Thematic magic includes: coin magic, poker magic, escape magic, scarf magic, rope magic, sponge ball magic, etc. According to effects An American magician Dariel Fitzkee once classified the effects of magic as follows in his book "The Trick Brain": 1.
